Behind The Cover Art

This cover was inspired by the energy of the track and intention of the lyrics. The first line "If you want to be something that you've never been before". This lyric made me think about how you have to pay attention to the "signs" to get anywhere in life. So the idea was then born...
The original photo was of an "EXIT" sign taken in an alley in Santa Monica. I super-imposed "iF U" using Photoshop then posterized using Topaz Software "Simplify" then colorized using Color EFX. I hand-painted white all over to get rid of any speckles, etc. using PS6, then added text and a black border. Final touches were then done in Lightroom. There you go! Here a link to the music video for "iF U (ft. Jonathan Bluth)
